What do we do?
What do we do?
In the ELC we draw pedagogical influence from the practices of Reggio Emilia, drawing connections between these Reggio practices and the PYP (IBO). We believe teachers should negotiate the learning path for the student using the curriculum and its concepts and outcomes as well as the learners interests and 'in the moment' experiences.
In the ELC we value play and see this as the natural vehicle for learning. We endeavor to make learning as playful as possible. We believe that learning should always be joyful.
Learning is supported by our belief our belief in The Image of Children (Reggio) as strong capable learners. This coupled with our carefully curated learning environment allows children to learn in optimal conditions. We are proud of our philosophy of learning and the conditions for our learners.
